Former Google Employees File Complaint Over Unlawful Firings Linked to Israel Contract Protests

The complaint, lodged with the U.S. National Labor Relations Board, challenges the legality of Google's response to employee protests against its cloud contract with the Israeli government.

  • Dozens of former Google workers allege they were unlawfully terminated for protesting the company's Project Nimbus, a cloud computing contract with Israel.
  • The complaint claims the firings interfered with the workers' rights under U.S. labor law to advocate for better working conditions.
  • Google asserts that the dismissed employees disrupted workspaces and made colleagues feel unsafe, defending its decision as necessary.
  • The workers are seeking reinstatement, back pay, and a statement from Google affirming their right to organize.
  • The ongoing civilian casualties in Gaza have intensified debates and protests over U.S. corporate involvement with the Israeli government.
